re: Is henckels a good knife brand

I have a Henkles double chef's knife that I bought at a TJ Maxx 20 to 25 years ago. Probably paid $20 for it. It's the first knife I grab for pretty much anything because it's so well balanced in my hand, if that makes sense. Hit it with a honing stick every time I use it. Sharpest knife I own to this day.

yes. had mine for almost 30 years. They are not Damascus steel or anything exotic. They reside in a cutting block and not on lighted, revolving display over my fireplace. They were considered some of the better knives you could buy at the time. They can be sharpened and they cut food
